Upgrading And Design Options

What is a Minted Coin?

Minting your design, or the process of hydraulically pressing your logo into the base metal, as opposed to stamping or die-striking, is another option for you to consider. Because a minted coin is hydraulically pressed, it leaves an unparalleled mirror-like finish without the imperfections that can occur in the other creation methods. Most logos are typically die struck, but in some cases, they can be minted, raising the cost and the overall quality of the product.

2D Designs

Two-dimensional coins have two layers, a background, and a raised surface, making them an ideal option for a design that features text or silhouettes. They are the thinner and lighter of the two options, and therefore, have the friendlier price point.

3D Designs

Three-dimensional coins appear sculpted, achieving a level of detail that isn’t possible in the 2-dimensional variety. This featuring of intricacies and variety of raises, recessions, and curves, makes them ideal for representations of people, animals, and natural landscapes.

Diamond Cut Edges

We offer a variety of diamond cut edges including wave cuts and rope edges.

Enameling

Thinking of adding enamel color into your design? Adding color is a great way to maintain cohesiveness with your business or organization’s brand and logo, and can be used to elevate different aspects of your artwork. At Monterey Company, we have enamel color available in both soft and hard varieties, as well as cloisonne. Each enamel variety lends itself to different types of designs, so work with a designer to determine which style is best.

Soft Enamel vs Hard Enamel

Soft Enamel: The most cost-effective of the options, soft enamel is added by filling color into the recessed metal ridges of your design, leaving your logo raised above the smooth pool of your desired shades. Like most customizable options at Monterey Company, there are unlimited combinations of colors and textures in our soft-enamel varieties. From robin egg blue to fire engine red, you really are only limited by your imagination.

Hard Enamel: One of the highest quality options offered at Monterey Company, our hard enamel varieties are the Cadillac of enamel styles when it comes to adding color to your logo. Combining glass-like Pantone with hard enamel, this innovative process makes such a durable and versatile product, you’ll just have to see it to believe.

Engraving

Engraving can be integrated into your design, adding serial numbers, words, and phrases in a unique and professional way. Engraving is the perfect addition with consecutive or serial numbers and can make your coin trackable by using specific combinations of numbers and letters. Additionally, simply engraving details into your artwork, instead of featuring one of our many die-options, is an economical way to add flair without some of the fees. We can also engrave the edge and this is call rim marking.

Adding Texture

Adding texture to the background is an excellent way to add dimension and contrast to your design, and lends itself well to most of our varieties. When considering your design, understand that your coin is typically no larger than 2 inches in diameter, making contrast an integral aspect of bringing the details of your logo or brand to life.

When depicting details like those found in nature scenes, animals, or people, without creating your coin in color or 3 dimensions, adding a textured background is an economical way to achieve your desired effect. At the Monterey Company, we’ve honed in our texturing techniques, offering everything from our favorite sandblasting finish to checkerboard patterns and more. Work with one of our talented staff to discern which texture would best suit your design.

Custom Shaped Coins & Sizes

Monterey Company features state of the art equipment, making both the size and the shape of your coin customizable. The most commonly requested sizes are 1.5, 1.75 and 2 inches and are generally fashioned into the round, flat shape. But, like most of the things we do, these features can be specialized.

Your design can follow the outline of your logo is a fun way to add character to your customization. And the best part is, there are no limits to producing the shape you’re after. Because of our stamping or casting process, your custom coins can feature unique cutout areas, can have a varied thickness, and feature an arched face. You can add function to your design by shaping it into a bottle opener or into a dog tag as well. So work with one of our talented designers to discuss your endless options for the size and shape.

Finish & Plating

The finish you choose can drastically change the look, feel, and general aesthetic of your design. Fortunately, at the Monterey Company, we offer many stylistic varieties when it comes to finishing your logo.

Antique finishes are commonly used, as they add a vintage look and feel to your design that is unparalleled. At Monterey Company, our antique finishes are available in a multitude of materials, with the most popular being antique copper, bronze, and silver.

Shiny finishes are a great option, especially when adding a textured background. Directly contrasting the antique finishing option, a shiny finish features the brilliance of the metals layered atop the base metal. This layered metal effect is called plating and can be achieved in gold, copper, silver, and true black varieties. For additional dimension, a dual-plating option is available, wherein more than one plated metal is used.

Epoxy finishes are also available for your custom coins at Monterey Company. Giving your design a clean, glass-like coating, an epoxy finish is a great way to protect and preserve the color, dimension, and integrity of your design. An epoxy finish can be applied in a variety of thicknesses, from simply a thin protective layer to a thick, smooth, dome-like layer, collectively preventing the scratching, fading, and tarnishing.

What Kind Of Metal Do We Use

We offer a variety of materials when it comes to choosing the base metal for your creation. Different metals lend themselves to different stylistic options, so working with a designer to discern which metal is the best option is always a good idea. The three main metals we work with are bronze, brass, and cast metals like zinc.

Bronze and brass are the most common metals requested by our customers, as they work well for designs featuring both raised and recessed details, intricacies, or designs that are represented in 2 dimensions. Additionally, bronze and brass are easy to mass produce, making them the perfect base metals for large or recurring orders.

Casting is another great option, made by filling a mold with molten material. Casting shows off unique detailing and textures, making them a good option for your 3-dimensional design. They also tend to be lighter, and consequently more cost-effective.
